autographs

[Stjofön Big]

Not into autographs, but have done interviews with The Grandmothers (Bunk Gardner, Jimmy Carl-Black, Don Preston) and Rob Stoner, the bassplayer who helped broaden Dylans musical horizon in ca -75, with the swing of rockabilly free form. Took several drunken hours in a pub where I found out Stoner shared my taste for Camel cigarettes without filter (it's almost all over for me now, mostly because they are so hard to find). Plus Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Dave Edmunds, some others, and a bunch of Swedish rock artists from the 60's to the 90's. Then my "best before date" stepped in, and took its toll! Oh, and the director Gunnar Hellstroem, too. Didn't he direct some episodes of Gun smoke? Very nice and humble guy, who grow up during some poor and hard times.

I don't have any autographs either, but I do remember being more than a little surprised and pleased when I was asked for mine after a show

Which body part did they want you to sign...?

[patman]

as an ex-smoker...the little Camels WERE the best...

[nofi]

that's what my grandfather smoked until the day he died. at age 60. same deal with my uncle, 55 for him.

I really did get to sign a girl's tits once 

But mostly our show posters, I'm not a great musician, I found it humbling, but a pleasant reflection.

I beg to differ on the musician part Mark.  You absolutely rock!

Hold on a minute, pictures or it didn't happen! 

Nah, just kidding. I was wondering though - there's been a lot of cool stuff in this thread, but do you know where it is? I was thinking how I put my ticket stub from the other night into my CD copy of School Days - the one I listened to after the show the other night, part of the recent box set. That brought back memories of tearing out the pages from magazines (Kerrang!, etc.) and putting them in the album most relevant. Then I would forget of course - a pleasant surprise when you find it again, but then you forget again, or you sell the records... So what do you do with your signed stuff, etc.?

i saw clarke with return to forever in 1974 at atlanta symphony hall. they did an electric and acoustic set. i thought the acoustic set far superior.

my son saw him in a club back in the eighties. he got to bang on stanleys bass as it was passed to a few folks in the front rows.

As she gets older she starts more and more fishing for compliments, have you all noticed?  Mark, your bass playing on the Nasty Habits stuff I've heard is head and shoulders above what other people (even) more famous do. Some of your basses might be violet, but you don't have to be a shrinking one.

TM Stevens scrawled all over MY 8-string Custom Shop LP Standard EVEN THOUGH I NEVER ASKED HIM TO!!!

But then he owned it first ...

Here's the thing tho......
I've seen/heard alot you of guys (including you Herr Moderator) play, and my talents are modest in comparison, I don't even read music! I consider myself fortunate to get to rub shoulders (electronically) with everybody here.

Only a tiny minority here can read music. I lost my music reading skills long ago, just not enough practice, but that circle of fifths thing and general harmony rules stuck with me. Now I have a hard time breaking them (but nevertheless bought the new Soundgarden album)!

Your basslines are thought- and - dare I say - tasteful. That is saying something to a grown guy in over-knee latex boots! 

[gweimer]

Should I bother to mention that the Eden WT-400 amp I had was initialed by the bass player from P.O.D.?  Mark (fur85) has that amp now.
